Chair's welcome

Welcome to the Northern Rivers Joint Organisation (NRJO) website.

NRJO is the peak representative group for the 7 local government areas of the Northern Rivers region in Northern NSW. The Mayors of Ballina, Byron, Clarence Valley, Kyogle, Lismore, Richmond Valley and Tweed Councils meet quarterly and delegate tasks to the General Managers Advisory Committee, who also meet quarterly.

As the peak body for local government in the northern rivers, NRJO is the recognised voice for our region’s councils. In addition NRJO engages in collaboration through resource sharing and procurement of materials, services and professional development. Not only do these endeavours bring councils together in a spirit of cooperation, they alos save money for councils and communities.
